After Faking My Death by Jumping into the Sea, the Villain Became Paranoid

Zhao Muqing transmigrated into a book as a cannon fodder passerby. The villain, Shen Guanzhi, only proposed to him to use him, and once he lost his value, he would send him off to meet the King of Hell.

Zhao Muqing: … Instead of being killed, I might as well kill myself. On the day Shen Guanzhi proposed to him, he turned around and jumped into the sea, faking his death.

Confirming that Shen Guanzhi had left, Zhao Muqing swam ashore and moved to another city to start a new life.

During an accidental return to his old stomping grounds, Zhao Muqing finally learned that Shen Guanzhi had spent all these years constantly sending people to dredge the sea. On the other person’s hand, he still wore the matching wedding ring from the proposal all those years ago.

Outside the banquet hall, Shen Guanzhi pressed his palm against Zhao Muqing’s waist: “Resurrected?”

Zhao Muqing almost failed to struggle free from the other’s grip: “…I, I suppose so.”

Shen Guanzhi: “Then that is perfect. Let us hold a make-up wedding.” Zhao Muqing: “Then I would rather just be dead.”

Shen Guanzhi suffered from severe insomnia and was unable to fall asleep alone. Zhao Muqing signed a contract with him, becoming his antidote, while publicly maintaining the facade of lovers who started dating on a whim.

Without realizing it, Shen Guanzhi fell deep into the other’s body heat. He personally crafted a pair of one-of-a-kind wedding rings, only to witness Zhao Muqing vanish into the sea on the very day of their proposal. Later on, for the sake of a plaything that had once been by his side, Shen Guanzhi madly scoured every single corner of the city.

Returning to his old home, Zhao Muqing never expected to see such a heavy trace of possessiveness in Shen Guanzhi’s eyes. It felt as though his every move was under Shen Guanzhi’s watchful eye; even down to how many sips of alcohol he drank at a bar, the other knew with absolute clarity.

Shen Guanzhi used the pad of his thumb to wipe away the trace of alcohol from the corner of Zhao Muqing’s lips, his dampened fingertips brushing across the other’s neck: “My husband, who else are you trying to go look for?”

One-Sentence Summary: I really do not want to marry the villain.
